Revealing whether the baby is a boy or a girl can be a lot of fun. The coolest thing is that someone you trust keeps the secret and the parents also don’t know the baby’s sex until the day of the shower. But how to organize a baby shower blind? To plan everything in the best way, check out tips and ideas to make an amazing revelation tea!
5 creative ways to reveal your baby’s gender
There are countless ways and ideas to reveal the baby’s sex at the shower, one more creative than the other. Check out some of them to help you choose an amazing reveal:
1. Surprise cake
The big surprise of finding out your baby’s sex may be inside the cake. Telling the secret to her or her guardian, he/she will order a cake with filling or dough colored according to the child’s sex. It’s an amazing idea for the most anxious moms, as the dads find out first, by cutting the cake, and then show the result to the guests.
2. Balloon with shredded papers
You can use the good old baby shower bladder to reveal the baby’s gender. It’s a very simple and cheap idea, just inform the guardian. Also, it can become a decoration item in tea.
3. Box with balloons
In a very large cardboard box, helium balloons are placed in the color that represents the baby’s sex. Then it’s just the parents open and see the balloons filling the sky with joy and color.
4. Fireworks
It might seem a little over the top, but putting on a fireworks show for your guests can be an amazing way to reveal the sex of your baby.
5. Colored powder
Colored powder has gained a lot of space at parties, especially children’s parties. Why not use it to reveal if you’re expecting a boy or girl? Only the parents can use the powder, throwing it at each other, or it can color all the guests. In that case, ask them to wear white, so the powder color stands out.
There are many ways to tell your friends and family the sex of your baby and surprise them. It’s a very special experience. Choose the way you like the most and that you believe will work best with your guests.
What to consider when organizing the revelation tea
Organizing any event requires a little planning. Here’s what to take into account to make a well-organized revelation tea:
- Who to invite: the number of guests will vary according to the number of people you consider important to participate in this moment. Family and friends are at the top of the list for sure. And there are also people who are indispensable, such as grandparents, uncles and godparents – if they have already chosen. But don’t feel pressured to invite everyone you meet: this is an intimate time and you should celebrate with the people you really care about.
- How to invite: this is a celebration that calls for creativity, and there’s nothing better than demonstrating it right on the baby shower invitation, which is when guests have the opportunity to get to know the mood of the party. You can opt for virtual invitations, which are practically free of charge and very practical. A cool way to play around with the baby’s gender is to put names, if they’ve already been chosen. Using neutral colors or playing with traditional blues and pinks can help guests get a feel for what the tea theme is all about. Using the mystery of revelation as the centerpiece of the invitation can be a lot of fun and arousing curiosity.
- Available budget: it is very important to measure the amount of money that can be spent for tea before buying decoration items or ordering sweets. There are many teas that are extremely enhanced and have a high investment. If you don’t mind spending a lot – after all, what matters is staying the way you want – perfect! But it is possible to make amazing tea for much less. You can make the decorations, food and baby shower favors yourself, for example, or ask friends and relatives for help. What matters is the essence of tea, which is to celebrate this life that is inside you.
- When to do it: hold the anxiety, mom! It’s okay that you are dying to find out the sex of your baby soon, but the recommended thing is to wait at least until the twentieth week, because it is at this stage that he is safer inside you, with less chance of losing him. If you think you can’t wait that long, it’s best to opt for a conventional baby shower or a surprise only for your guests.
- Gifts: It’s important to make it clear that you don’t know the sex of the baby yet, to avoid gifts aimed at a specific sex. A good option is disposable diapers, because you can’t go wrong and you’ll be using them for a long time on your baby. Making a baby shower list can be helpful at this point.
- The keeper of the secret: since you can’t have access to the exams that reveal the baby’s sex, you should choose someone you trust – like a friend, a sister or your mother to deliver the exams or to accompany you to the ultrasound. It is very important to inform your doctor about the choice, so that no clues are given ahead of time.
- What to Serve: Baby showers are usually held in the afternoon, like cocktails. Finger foods (snacks/snacks) are served and drinks are on account of juices and soft drinks, teas and coffees. But nothing prevents you from having lunch or dinner. This will depend on the style and the way you chose to do this celebration. In addition, a good tip to improve the atmosphere of the tea is to make sweets and juices in the colors of the party, which are usually blue and pink.
- How to entertain guests: the event is much more fun with baby shower games, generating more interaction between guests and causing lots of laughter. Even more so in the revelation tea, which offers so many possibilities. One of the most common games in this type of tea is the bet on the sexes, and there are countless ways to do it. You can put a blackboard on which guests mark whether they believe it will be a boy or a girl, or you can make decorations for guests to use on their clothes, such as bows and ties in blue or pink.
- How to decorate: the most common in this type of tea is the use of blue and pink in the decoration, but the combination with other colors, such as yellow, white, green and gray, can yield beautiful options. Balloons are always a good choice, as are teddy bears. The question mark has also been widely used in revelation teas, as they represent the doubt that parents and guests are feeling at the moment.
It may seem a little difficult at first… But, putting everything together, your reveal tea will come out flawless!
